TO THE READER
A special chapter is assigned to the collapse of the theory of evolution because this theory con-
stitutes the basis of all anti-spiritual philosophies. Since Darwinism rejects the fact of creation—and
therefore, Allah's existence—over the last 150 years it has caused many people to abandon their
faith or fall into doubt. It is therefore an imperative service, a very important duty to show everyone
that this theory is a deception. Since some readers may find the opportunity to read only one of our
books, we think it appropriate to devote a chapter to summarize this subject.
All the author's books explain faith-related issues in light of Qur'anic verses, and invite read-
ers to learn Allah's words and to live by them. All the subjects concerning Allah's verses are ex-
plained so as to leave no doubt or room for questions in the reader's mind. The books' sincere, plain,
and fluent style ensures that everyone of every age and from every social group can easily under-
stand them. Thanks to their effective, lucid narrative, they can be read at one sitting. Even those who
rigorously reject spirituality are influenced by the facts these books document and cannot refute the
truthfulness of their contents.
This and all the other books by the author can be read individually, or discussed in a group.
Readers eager to profit from the books will find discussion very useful, letting them relate their re-
flections and experiences to one another.
In addition, it will be a great service to Islam to contribute to the publication and reading of
these books, written solely for the pleasure of Allah. The author's books are all extremely convinc-
ing. For this reason, to communicate true religion to others, one of the most effective methods is en-
couraging them to read these books.
We hope the reader will look through the reviews of his other books at the back of this book.
His rich source material on faith-related issues is very useful, and a pleasure to read.
In these books, unlike some other books, you will not find the author's personal views, ex-
planations based on dubious sources, styles that are unobservant of the respect and reverence due
to sacred subjects, nor hopeless, pessimistic arguments that create doubts in the mind and devia-
tions in the heart.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN
YAHYA, Adnan Oktar was born in Ankara in 1956.
Having completed his primary and secondary education
in Ankara, he studied fine arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan
University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since
the 1980s, he has published many books on political, scien-
tific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as
the author of important works disclosing the imposture of
evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons be-
tween Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and
communism.
Harun Yahya’s works, translated into 63 different languages,
constitute a collection for a total of more than 55,000 pages with
40,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and
Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who
fought against their peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his
books' covers is symbolic and is linked to their contents. It repre-
sents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad
(saas), last of the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and
the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [saas]), the author makes it
his purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of irreligious
ideologies and to have the "last word," so as to complete-
ly silence the objections raised against religion. He
uses the seal of the final Prophet (saas), who at-
tained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as
a sign of his intention to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one sin-
gle goal: to convey the Qur'an's message, en-
courage readers to consider basic faith-related
issues such as Allah's existence and unity and
the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious sys-
tems' feeble foundations and perverted
ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a
wide readership in
many coun-
tries, from India to America, England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil,
Malaysia to Italy, France to Bulgaria and Russia. Some of his books are available in English,
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Chinese, Swahili,
Hausa, Dhivehi (spoken in Maldives), Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay,
Uygur Turkish, Indonesian, Bengali, Danish and Swedish.
Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have been instrumental in many
people recovering faith in Allah and gaining deeper insights into their faith. His books'
wisdom and sincerity, together with a distinct style that's easy to understand, directly af-
fect anyone who reads them. Those who seriously consider these books, can no longer ad-
vocate atheism or any other perverted ideology or materialistic philosophy, since these
books are characterized by rapid effectiveness, definite results, and irrefutability. Even if
they continue to do so, it will be only a sentimental insistence, since these books refute such
ideologies from their very foundations. All contemporary movements of denial are now
ideologically defeated, thanks to the books written by Harun Yahya.
This is no doubt a result of the Qur'an's wisdom and lucidity. The author modestly in-
tends to serve as a means in humanity's search for Allah's right path. No material gain is
sought in the publication of these works.
Those who encourage others to read these books, to open their minds and hearts and
guide them to become more devoted servants of Allah, render an invaluable service.
Meanwhile, it would only be a waste of time and energy to propagate other books that
create confusion in people's minds, lead them into ideological confusion, and that clearly
have no strong and precise effects in removing the doubts in people's hearts, as also veri-
fied from previous experience. It is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's
literary power rather than the noble goal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such
a great effect. Those who doubt this can readily see that the sole aim of Harun Yahya's
books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate the Qur'an's moral values. The success
and impact of this service are manifested in the readers' conviction.
One point should be kept in mind: The main reason for the continuing cruelty, conflict,
and other ordeals endured by the vast majority of people is the ideological prevalence of
disbelief. This can be ended only with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by conveying
the wonders of creation and Qur'anic morality so that people can live by it. Considering the
state of the world today, leading into a downward spiral of violence, corruption and con-
flict, clearly this service must be provided speedily and effectively, or it may be too late.
In this effort, the books of Harun Yahya assume a leading role. By the will of Allah,
these books will be a means through which people in the twenty-first century will attain
the peace, justice, and happiness promised in the Qur'an.
